A WOROOF WARNING.
The Fearful Dangers of the Pres
ent 6earon and How to Avoid
Thon1 In Time


Mr.. Wilton r. Palmer, of New York
city receiAed the best wishes of the sea-
son from all the friends he met on BIS
birthday, and believed that his future
life was to long and joyous. That even
ing he felt tickling in the throat, a
slight pein across the chest and he cough
ed once or twice The next dav his nos
trils were infamed, his throat sore and
his lungs all filled up. The day follow~
ing he was in bed, with physicians shak>
ing their heads, and the third day he was
dead from pneumonia, which he failed
to take in time. There are ten thousand
men and women in America today in just
the same conditions as Mr., Palmer was.
Their throats are sore, their lungs are
irritated, and thev are on the verge of
pneumonia and peath, but they do not
know it.
